This post is basically to encourage people to check Linux out. What is stopping you from ditching Microsoft?
Edit: I forgot to mention this but if someone is looking for a recommendation for a Linux distribution then I'd personally recommend Manjaro KDE or just any of the popular distributions with KDE Plasma as the Desktop Environment really. Edit 2: For those who might be looking for more stability and don't need to have the most up to date software I'd recommend Kubuntu.
Not everyone is technically inclined. Just giving someone a link to a giant wiki with thousands of articles and saying "just take a few minutes to read it" isn't very helpful either. If you don't fundamentally understand what a wiki article is telling you to do and for some reason you are not able to follow the instructions they're giving, you're going to have a massive headache... and I seriously wouldn't recommend Arch to any first time linux user. Like I am with you, Linux isn't some crazy complicated thing that only 1337 h4x0rs can use, but let's not also pretend that grandma can just install Arch or Gentoo as long as she reads a few wiki articles.
Plus as I said, it's not always as easy as clicking a checkbox. Clicking a checkbox isn't going to help you bypass BattleEye anti-cheat. It's not going to help if you have major performance issues in game. I get what you're saying, you can game on linux but let's not pretend anyone who isn't doing it is just can't read a wiki. It's disingenuous.
